Synopsis

Digital Disruption and Electronic Resource Management in Libraries identifies issues in the management of e-resources. The paradigm shift from Electronic Resources to Electronic Resource Management (ERM) has meant significant change for libraries and their users. One of the most important functions of a library is to provide information in electronic format. Libraries provide access to a wide variety of resources. A major challenge for libraries and librarians is therefore the management of this diversity of e-resources. ERM has emerged in this context.

• Presents current theory and practice of Electronic Resource Management (ERM)
• Offers comprehensive coverage of ERM, including lifecycle, systems, standards
• Includes case studies for ERM
